Grafting is an art and allows us to grow a genetic replica of a living fruit tree. We have some amazing old trees growing in the area and want to keep them alive for generations to come!
If you’re interested in grafting a copy of your own tree (or a friend or neighbor’s), now’s the time to collect scion wood. Scions are long straight twigs about the size of a pencil or a little larger. Cut them with sharp pruners and store them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator until the workshop. We will also have scions from local heritage apple trees to share.
Each workshop participant will have the opportunity to learn how to graft and to take home a tree for their own garden or orchard. Suggested donation is $10-25
To sign up for the workshop, contact Jennifer Childress with the White Clover Grange.
